I was quite surprised to find out recently that Metformin is a drug given to people with Diabetes and I couldn't understand how this would help me!
After all ...How is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome anything like Diebetes?
I began reading about it on the net to gain a better insight into what exactly I was taking as I didn't want to be given something that I don't need.
So in a nutshell: PCOS sufferers frequently have insulin resistence, which means that their bodies do not respond quick to insulin. (Insulin is a hormone created by the pancreas!) ........it's quite in depth so I have added some links below if you'd like to read more for yourself!
I guess I just have to trust my doctor on this one and take the tablets, from what I have read Metformin and Clomid taken together increase the chances of ovulation and concieving greatly!

My journey through fertility investigations and treatments! My name is Rachel and I was born in North London/England on 28th June 1986. I am married to my lovely husband Kenny and we live in Essex with our 2 cats Noddy and Snoopy. I have created a blog about my journey through fertility investigations and treatment as I feel that not enough is said about this subject.
